CÔTE D'IVOIRE
771km² lithium portfolio
Highly prospective, under-explored tenure
In Côte d’Ivoire, Atlantic Lithium, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Khaleesi Resources SARL,holds exploration permits over the highly prospective Rubino and Agboville exploration licences, which cover 374.18 km² and 396.89 km², respectively.
Atlantic Lithium intends to apply its proven track record of lithium exploration, discovery and evaluation in tropical weathering environments to its portfolio in Côte d’Ivoire to support the Company’s strategic objective of becoming a leading producer of spodumene in Africa.
Rubino and Agboville Licences
No modern-day lithium exploration has been conducted over the two contiguous licences, which cover highly prospective Birimian aged geological terrain, including possible fractionated granitic intrusive centres, offering significant lithium exploration upside.
Historical country-wide mineral occurrence mapping undertaken during the 1960s and 1970s by SODEMI (Société pour le Développement Minier de la Côte d’Ivoire) identified one of only two spodumene occurrences across the entire country at the time within the Rubino licence, which occurs within a broad belt of columbite, tantalum, tin and beryl occurrences that cross both the Rubino and Agboville licences.
The licences are located within approximately 80km of the economic capital city, Abidjan, and benefit from strong existing infrastructure, including a sealed road network, an operational train line (the main line of which links the port of Abidjan and Burkina Faso’s capital city, Ouagadougou), a well-established cellular network and nearby high-voltage transmission lines.
